I passed the exam in first take. I just marked and skipped the hard questions and move on to answer the easy one. No need to memorize any formula as long as you know where to find and use the formulas from the reference pdf provided in the exam. The exam is easy but time is very limited for 110 questions. I review while working so I have to study only every Saturday and Sunday or solve 5 problems per day. Those who want to take FE exam believe that you will pass exam and it will happen!
Hello Anthony- I am happy to share that I passed the FE exam. I took the exam on Jan 28th and result came in today. Your advice of skipping tough/unsure Qs def helped a lot. I made almost 2-3 passes in each section. 1st pass, when I am 100% sure, 2nd pass, med difficulty questions and 3rd pass, time consuming Qs. Thanks so much for your help. Now getting ready for PE.
Thank you for sharing! I just failed and what I found was that the exam room was too dark ; since I have bad eyes I was having a problem reading my writing of the problem solutions. I guess they are set-up mostly for computer testing without doing work on the side.
I'm sorry to hear that you failed the FE exam. You may want to consider requesting special permissions, such as extra lighting or a larger desk, if you have a medical condition that may affect your ability to take the exam under standard conditions. It's also important to practice and simulate the testing environment before the actual exam, so you can adapt and adjust to the limitations and conditions of the computer-based format. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck in your future attempts at the FE exam.
@@PasstheFEExam Yes, I am making the adjustments necessary for the next time. The test is designed for students that are still in school and everything is freshed; the test is not difficult, but all of your cylinders have to be firing the morning of the test!
@mehdiamiri295 Yes, there are some academic requirements you need to meet before taking the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. These requirements can vary depending on your specific situation, but here's a general overview: Basic Requirement: Degree: You must have a bachelor's or master's degree in engineering from an ABET-accredited program. ABET accreditation ensures your program meets the quality standards for your chosen engineering discipline. Alternative Option (for students): Enrollment and nearing graduation: If you are currently enrolled in an ABET-accredited engineering program and within your final year of studies, you may be eligible to take the FE exam. However, keep in mind that some states/jurisdictions might have additional requirements for student eligibility. Other Options (less common): Experience for non-ABET degrees: If you hold a non-ABET accredited engineering degree, you might still be eligible by demonstrating relevant work experience under the supervision of a licensed professional engineer. The required experience duration varies depending on your situation (usually 6-12 years). International Engineers: If you are an international engineer, you might need to meet additional requirements related to your degree accreditation and work experience. Additional Points: GPA requirements: While not universally mandated, some states/jurisdictions might have minimum GPA requirements for taking the FE exam. Check with your state board for specific details. Application process: Regardless of your eligibility path, you need to go through the proper application process with the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). They provide detailed information and resources on their website: ncees.org/: ncees.org/. Remember: It's crucial to confirm the specific requirements for your state or jurisdiction. The links below provide resources to help you get started: NCEES FE Exam page: ncees.org/exams/fe-exam/: ncees.org/exams/fe-exam/ I hope this clarifies the academic requirements for taking the FE exam. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions!
My son is a recent B.S.M.E. and just got hired at Leidos Energy group in Orlando as an Associate Power Distribution Engineer. He starts Monday. I have talked to him about taking his FE but in the months after graduating I think he has just pushed it off (probably hoping to just get hired without). So now that he has accomplished that, how important do you think it is that he take and pass the FE?
Congratulations to your son on his new job! Regarding your question, while passing the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam is not a requirement for all engineering jobs, it is generally beneficial for new graduates to take the exam for several reasons. Firstly, passing the FE exam is the first step towards becoming a licensed Professional Engineer (PE), which can open up more opportunities for career advancement and higher salaries. Many employers also prefer to hire PEs or those who are on track to becoming licensed. Secondly, studying for and taking the FE exam can help your son solidify his understanding of the engineering fundamentals he learned in college. This can be especially helpful in his new job, where he will likely encounter complex problems that require a strong foundation in engineering principles. Lastly, even if your son does not plan on becoming a licensed PE in the future, passing the FE exam can still demonstrate to his employer and colleagues that he has a strong understanding of engineering principles and is committed to his profession.

Whether or not you should take the PE early out of state depends on a number of factors, including your personal and professional goals, your financial situation, and the requirements of the state where you want to be licensed. Here are some things to consider: Pros: You could start your career as a licensed engineer sooner. You could have more job opportunities, especially if you want to work in multiple states. You could earn a higher salary. Cons: You may have to travel to take the exam. You may have to pay additional fees to apply for licensure in multiple states. You may have to meet additional requirements, such as taking another exam, in some states. If you are considering taking the PE early out of state, I recommend that you do some research to learn more about the requirements for licensure in the state where you want to be licensed. You should also talk to other engineers who have taken the exam out of state to get their advice. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to take the PE early out of state is a personal one. There is no right or wrong answer. It is important to weigh the pros and cons carefully and make the decision that is best for you. If you are still unsure whether or not to take the PE early out of state, I recommend that you talk to a mentor or career counselor. They can help you weigh the pros and cons and make the best decision for your career.
I’m an industrial engineer BA. But I’m currently working as a distribution engineer. Is it possible to take the FE for Electrical & computers with industrial engineer discipline?
You can take the FE exam in any discipline that you wish. There is no requirement to what you actually take so you are free to choose whatever discipline you like to take it in. It's completely up to you.
Will this exam help me land a mechaniacl engineering job easier? I graduated last year and I recently quit my first engineering related job which was mostly maintenance and I really would like to land a more technical job but im struggling to convey the experience needed more most design based jobs.
Taking and passing the FE (Fundamentals of Engineering) exam can be helpful for landing a mechanical engineering job, as it can demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of fundamental engineering concepts to potential employers. However, passing the FE exam alone may not be enough to guarantee you a job, as employers may also consider factors such as your education, work experience, and technical skills. In terms of conveying your experience to potential employers, it's important to highlight the specific technical skills and knowledge you have gained in your maintenance role. For example, you could describe the types of equipment you maintained, the maintenance procedures you followed, and the problem-solving skills you developed. Additionally, you could emphasize any design or analysis tasks you were involved in, such as designing modifications to equipment or analyzing data to improve performance. You may also want to consider seeking out additional technical training or certifications to demonstrate your knowledge and skills in a specific area of mechanical engineering. This could include training in design software, manufacturing processes, or specific mechanical systems or components. Overall, passing the FE exam can be a valuable addition to your resume and can help demonstrate your understanding of fundamental engineering concepts, but it's important to also focus on highlighting your specific skills and experience to potential employers and continuously developing your technical knowledge and skills.
Hi everyone. I don't know if someone would relate on my experience. But i took twice already and didn't pass. I immigrated in Canada 5 years ago. And it took me 5 years to get my Degree in Electrical engineering evaluated here in canada (for some personal reasons) . And luckily it is equal to bachelor degree in engineering here. The thing is back home we focus only on electrical itself and the board exam is much more about electrical too so i pass it in first take. Now im having a hard time how to actually pass the FE exam here knowing that it is combination of electrical and computer. I tried studying NCEEs exam materials and bought Asghar book but still i didn't manage to pass. Im hoping for any advices and tips for someone has the same situation like me. I really wanna pass this. Thank you all
@arvinnico9340 We hear you, and you're definitely not alone in this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated after investing so much time and effort. Immigrating and navigating a new professional landscape is a huge undertaking in itself, even before adding the challenge of licensing exams. It sounds like you've got a solid foundation in electrical engineering, and that's a great starting point. The FE exam's broader scope can definitely throw a curveball, especially when your previous experience and studies were more focused. Here are a few thoughts that might help: 1. Targeted prep: Since you're already familiar with the electrical side, consider focusing your study time heavily on the computer engineering topics. Look for resources specifically designed to bridge that gap for electrical engineers. 2. Practice, practice, practice: The FE exam format can be as challenging as the content itself. Make sure you're doing plenty of practice problems in a timed setting to build your test-taking stamina. 3. Consider a review course: Sometimes a structured course can help fill in knowledge gaps and provide a study plan tailored to your situation. 4. Don't give up! You've clearly got the determination to succeed. It might take some extra time and a shift in approach, but you can absolutely get there. Remember, the FE exam is just one step on your journey. You've already accomplished so much by immigrating, getting your degree evaluated, and pursuing your career goals in a new country. Keep your head up and keep pushing forward!
Thank you a lot for the video, it really helped me start my thinking process, a couple of questions I have for you: * How long you think I should plan on my preparation for my FE exam? * Where is the best place that I can get some material from to study? Thanks a lot for all your help and support
Glad it was helpful! Check out these videos here to answer your questions: th-cam.com/video/6ZklBbb5-L4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/gf2hfkMPpxY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Djhyr9FPjMk/w-d-xo.html
I have a diploma degree in energy conversion engineering from Semarang State Polytechnic . How I can take the FE exam with my degree which is not accredited by ABET ?. Diploma is 3 years of college in Indonesia
Hello Hoki. In this case it would be best to reach out to directly to the NCEES and send them your resume and experience information and they will give you guidance.
I'm hearing rumors that I need to "pass" every section. for the ME FE exam, can I get everything wrong in thermodynamics and still pass the exam if I get 65% total correct?
@cadejones4651 No, the rumors are incorrect. You don't necessarily need to "pass" every section on the FE Mechanical (ME) exam to achieve an overall passing score. Here's how it works: **Overall passing score: The FE Exam has a minimum passing score, typically around 70%, but it can fluctuate slightly depending on the exam administration. This score reflects your overall performance across all sections. **No sectional cutoffs: There are no published minimum scores for individual sections on the FE Exam. Your performance on one section won't automatically disqualify you, even if you score very low in a particular area like thermodynamics. Here's what matters: **Weighted scoring: The FE Exam uses a weighted scoring system. Each section contributes a different weight to your overall score based on the number of questions in that section. For example, sections with more questions will generally have a higher weight. **Overall performance: Your total score is calculated by considering your performance across all sections, weighted according to their importance. As long as your total score meets or exceeds the minimum passing percentage, you'll pass the exam regardless of how you performed in any specific section. Focus on maximizing your overall score: **Strength in other sections: While it's not ideal to score very low in any section, you can compensate for a weak area in thermodynamics by performing well in other sections of the exam. **Strategic studying: Focus your studies on the areas you feel less confident in, but don't completely neglect thermodynamics. A basic understanding can still help you get some points in that section. Resources for the FE ME Exam: **National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES): ncees.org/exams/fe-exam/ **FE Reference Handbook: This handbook is a crucial resource containing formulas and equations relevant to the exam. help.ncees.org/article/87-ncees-exam-reference-handbooks By understanding the scoring system and strategically preparing for the exam, you can increase your chances of success on the FE ME Exam.
Great video. Do you know ahead of time what the reference pdf will be that you can use for the fe exam? I see on the ncees website there is a PE reference handbook but I wasn’t sure if it was the same for the FE? Thanks!
The FE Reference Handbook is the sole reference source that can be used during the FE test. The NCEES website offers a free download of the reference guide. You can find all of the information here: ncees.org/engineering/fe/
Hey Anthony! I’m a lower level Technician with the NCDOT, my ultimate goal is to obtain my FE. However I have no prior college education. But I’m planning on beginning by taking the FEP, HEC, then if passed go for my FE. What are some pointers for someone like me to prep for this type of exam. I’ve heard that this class is no joke, and I want to be able to have the motivation/confidence to attempt it. Thanks!
Hello Tanner, the best thing to do would be to go through all of our videos that are arranged into different playlists. You can check them out here >> studio.th-cam.com/channels/cUwvohzlYBMYuyEwLyMvcg.htmlcontent/playlists You should also consider purchasing a FE review course, like PPI's review prep courses that you can check out here >> ppi2pass.com/online-prep-courses
Yes, you can take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) mechanical exam in Egypt. The FE exam is administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES), and they have authorized Pearson VUE test centers around the world where the exam can be taken. To register for the FE exam, you should first create an account on the NCEES website and follow the registration instructions. When registering, you will need to choose a Pearson VUE test center where you will take the exam. There are several test centers in Egypt where the FE exam is offered. It's important to note that the FE exam is a computer-based test and is offered year-round at Pearson VUE test centers. However, the exact availability of exam dates and times may vary by location, so you should check the Pearson VUE website for availability and scheduling options specific to the test center you plan to use.
So not all questions in the exam have same scoring system? For example, does question 3 (simple math) awards less points than question 95 (complex thermal dynamics)?
They should a be worth the same. The only difference is that some subjects have more questions than others. Like if you are mechanical you will probably see around 10 questions for statics and only around 5 for mathematics
Good Evening Anthony, my name is Leonardo, I am a Chemical Engineer graduated from Cuba, I want to take the FE exam, do you have any recommendation form me? Would be very helpful for me if you give some advice.

Hi!! Thank you so much by the asesory. I'm prepared by the exam Engineering chemical my cuestion is FE or PE? I have work of experience in México and never in the United Stated. And I have process my ID by prensent the exam. My guide is FE reference handbook and book of practice Chemical (obtain by amazon) Is correct PE in my case exam? Regards.
Hi Lorena, I’m from Colombia. I’m just in the process of validate my career as an ABET program with Josef Silny and I am looking forward to present this exam. I’m a chemical engineer, I understood that you are my colleague haha what book are you talking about? Can you send me the link?
Hi Thank you for the information I am preparing for FE electrical and computer engineering. There are 4 courses that I never studied it at the university such as computer networking, computer engineering, communication and signal processing Now if I get most of them wrong, will this affect my score even if I get high results on the other topics ? Thanks again for your videos on TH-cam.
I have heard that each question weighs the same. So if you do bad on some sections and get perfect scores on other sections, you might be able to pass the exam as per the video since you only need 50 to 60 percent to pass.
@@rushi570 Thanks, I did the test on August 25 and passed it. I focused on the materials I had good knowledge. During the exam I skipped all questions I didnt know or wasnt sure about them and had enough time at the end to search them on the handbook and do the best guess
Hello Tinu. Although it is computer-based, NCEES still has to analyze the tests and might also look for questions that may have been poorly worded and were missed by the majority of test takers, in which case they might remove the question/s.
Hello we just responded to you on our other channel, contact the FL State Board and provide your experience and ask for next steps. They may accept some of it.
I passed the exam in first take. I just marked and skipped the hard questions and move on to answer the easy one.

Hello Hoki. In this case it would be best to reach out to directly to the NCEES and send them your resume and experience information and they will give you guidance.
I'm hearing rumors that I need to "pass" every section. for the ME FE exam, can I get everything wrong in thermodynamics and still pass the exam if I get 65% total correct?
@cadejones4651 No, the rumors are incorrect. You don't necessarily need to "pass" every section on the FE Mechanical (ME) exam to achieve an overall passing score. Here's how it works:
**Overall passing score: The FE Exam has a minimum passing score, typically around 70%, but it can fluctuate slightly depending on the exam administration. This score reflects your overall performance across all sections.
**No sectional cutoffs: There are no published minimum scores for individual sections on the FE Exam. Your performance on one section won't automatically disqualify you, even if you score very low in a particular area like thermodynamics.
Here's what matters:
**Weighted scoring: The FE Exam uses a weighted scoring system. Each section contributes a different weight to your overall score based on the number of questions in that section. For example, sections with more questions will generally have a higher weight.
**Overall performance: Your total score is calculated by considering your performance across all sections, weighted according to their importance. As long as your total score meets or exceeds the minimum passing percentage, you'll pass the exam regardless of how you performed in any specific section.
Focus on maximizing your overall score:
**Strength in other sections: While it's not ideal to score very low in any section, you can compensate for a weak area in thermodynamics by performing well in other sections of the exam.
**Strategic studying: Focus your studies on the areas you feel less confident in, but don't completely neglect thermodynamics. A basic understanding can still help you get some points in that section.
Resources for the FE ME Exam:
**National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES): ncees.org/exams/fe-exam/
**FE Reference Handbook: This handbook is a crucial resource containing formulas and equations relevant to the exam. help.ncees.org/article/87-ncees-exam-reference-handbooks
By understanding the scoring system and strategically preparing for the exam, you can increase your chances of success on the FE ME Exam.
Great video. Do you know ahead of time what the reference pdf will be that you can use for the fe exam? I see on the ncees website there is a PE reference handbook but I wasn’t sure if it was the same for the FE? Thanks!
The FE Reference Handbook is the sole reference source that can be used during the FE test. The NCEES website offers a free download of the reference guide. You can find all of the information here: ncees.org/engineering/fe/
Hi
I want to know that is there any sectional cutoff for the Exam ?
There is no sectional cutoff for the FE exam. Your overall score on the exam will determine whether or not you pass.
Hey Anthony! I’m a lower level Technician with the NCDOT, my ultimate goal is to obtain my FE. However I have no prior college education. But I’m planning on beginning by taking the FEP, HEC, then if passed go for my FE. What are some pointers for someone like me to prep for this type of exam. I’ve heard that this class is no joke, and I want to be able to have the motivation/confidence to attempt it. Thanks!
Hello Tanner, the best thing to do would be to go through all of our videos that are arranged into different playlists. You can check them out here >> studio.th-cam.com/channels/cUwvohzlYBMYuyEwLyMvcg.htmlcontent/playlists
You should also consider purchasing a FE review course, like PPI's review prep courses that you can check out here >> ppi2pass.com/online-prep-courses
Hello Anthony, can i take the FE mechanical exam in egypt.?
Yes, you can take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) mechanical exam in Egypt. The FE exam is administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES), and they have authorized Pearson VUE test centers around the world where the exam can be taken.
To register for the FE exam, you should first create an account on the NCEES website and follow the registration instructions. When registering, you will need to choose a Pearson VUE test center where you will take the exam. There are several test centers in Egypt where the FE exam is offered.
It's important to note that the FE exam is a computer-based test and is offered year-round at Pearson VUE test centers. However, the exact availability of exam dates and times may vary by location, so you should check the Pearson VUE website for availability and scheduling options specific to the test center you plan to use.
Thank you so much for your response. That was useful.
Glad it was helpful!
So not all questions in the exam have same scoring system?
For example, does question 3 (simple math) awards less points than question 95 (complex thermal dynamics)?
They should a be worth the same. The only difference is that some subjects have more questions than others. Like if you are mechanical you will probably see around 10 questions for statics and only around 5 for mathematics

Hi!!

Hi Lorena, I’m from Colombia. I’m just in the process of validate my career as an ABET program with Josef Silny and I am looking forward to present this exam. I’m a chemical engineer, I understood that you are my colleague haha what book are you talking about? Can you send me the link?
Hi
Thank you for the information
I am preparing for FE electrical and computer engineering. There are 4 courses that I never studied it at the university such as computer networking, computer engineering, communication and signal processing
Now if I get most of them wrong, will this affect my score even if I get high results on the other topics ?
Thanks again for your videos on TH-cam.
I have heard that each question weighs the same. So if you do bad on some sections and get perfect scores on other sections, you might be able to pass the exam as per the video since you only need 50 to 60 percent to pass.

Thanks, I did the test on August 25 and passed it. I focused on the materials I had good knowledge. During the exam I skipped all questions I didnt know or wasnt sure about them and had enough time at the end to search them on the handbook and do the best guess
What materials you used to get it done , did u get courses
Why does the NCEES take 7-10 days to provide the results?
Hello Tinu. Although it is computer-based, NCEES still has to analyze the tests and might also look for questions that may have been poorly worded and were missed by the majority of test takers, in which case they might remove the question/s.
@@PasstheFEExam Thank you for your reply. This waiting period is killing me.
Is it required for undergrad to take the FE exam for employment?
Not required no, but it can be very helpful and give you an advantage
@@PasstheFEExam Thank you so much for this content. I been confused about the FE exam your channel gave me clarity and prospects to this exam.
I want your shirt where can I get it?
We plan to start a merch store soon...
Hi, I'm BS Chem and MS in Fire Protection, I'm aiming for PE in Fire Protection. Can I take PE in Fire Protection after FE in Chem?
Hello we just responded to you on our other channel, contact the FL State Board and provide your experience and ask for next steps. They may accept some of it.
